ODESSA, TEXAS - As violence explodes in Ukraine, missionaries from an Odessa church are caught in the middle while on a two week mission trip. At least 25 people have been killed and hundreds more have been injured after protests in the eastern European country.
But the group from First Baptist Church of Odessa says they are praying and will continue their plan to teach English.
Despite the risk, dozens of other churches in West Texas send members to foreign countries to minister or serve. Most West Texans who go abroad to serve say they know the risks. And while this group may not be heading to Ukraine anytime soon, even in the midst of deadly protests, they are keeping their faith.
